Soreness is my state today, today, the day before the new start. Not for me. I’ll still be committing the same sins as well as hurt people in the ways I like to. The soreness comes from digging ditches for my masters. So proud of myself: Dug a small tree out of the frozen ground. Sucked balls. My back is slaughtered over it.
Went to the Emergency Ahead CD release show last night. Quite inspiring. Saw a lot of people I haven’t seen in a while. The crowd was killer. Kids seemed to eat it up. Couldn’t be more proud of EA and Second Thought—they played the best sets I’ve seen from them with probably the greatest local crowd response in the history of ABQ.
The Albuquerque scene is a diamond in the rough, as stated by Epiphany on their SIGN ME TO ROADRUNNER RECORDS page. It has a network of people who care about each other and want to hang out. When I was in Ohio, I felt the closeness of the scene. It was good, but here it’s so much different. The area is smaller so you get to know everyone or at least cross paths in friendly or awkward ways.
I despise bands that participate in shows in our scene, and care nothing of anything else. Shows to them are jack-off sessions—momentary periods of gofer like optimism with an early climax. Sometimes they are faking even. No one like a faker. Participate, hang out, stop making it weird.
Got that out. Feels good.
Getting ready for New Years Eve show at Dad’s House. Should be ridic. Excited to see what it is like. First time playing there, and probably the last if shit goes right.
